The 3/8 ratchet wrench is a handy tool with nice power control

The craftsman professional wratchet wrench is a must have for anyone doing any serious automotive work, it makes the job quicker and easier and can do jobs a regular wratchet can't. If you are a guy like me who doesn't have a car lift, then you know how it is working laying on your back. This tool makes getting those bell housing bolts and other hard to get bolts in an out a sinch. You have to break torque with a wratchet but after that just slip the air wratchet on and hold the trigger, no wratcheting back in forth forever one click at a time. The variable speed trigger is also a nice feature. I would highly recommend it.

It works but could be better

First off, it is China made. With that being said, unless you buy it for a really good sale price, it isn't worth the price. Not all stuff from China is bad, but I have found that the Craftsman air tools just aren't top of the line. I knew that going into the game so I don't have a major beef with it. This particular tool lacks comfort with the trigger control. I also don't like how flimsy the trigger is. It bends rather easy. This tool isn't going to hold up if you are "drop your tool" kind of guy to get things moving quickly. And I don't suggest this for a field truck or service truck. It won't hold up to the conditions.
Overall, for a person who uses it once in a while or you plan on being gentle with it, it gets the job done. I just feel the price isn't justified. I like to know that if I drop it on accident or rough work conditions are where it will be used, it will be able to handle the unintentional abuse. I don't see that the case.

Have used only Ingersol Rand (IR) air ratchets in the past. Bought this on sale and have been using it for 3+ months without any problems. Because it's the Pro series, it has a heavy duty case, seals, discs and gear head.

For what you spend on this tool you really can't go wrong, RPMs are a bitter slower than i like but the torque is good. the only reason it has 4 instead of 5 stars is the trigger, i have pesronally always hated those lever triggers because the don't allow me to get into tight places while i r&r transmissions. other than that great tool.
